Location of 'stress'

Can we say there is a meaning difference, depending on location of stress like

I LOVE to meet you.

I love to MEET you.

I love to meet YOU.

I think that there is a meaning difference. What do you native English speakers think? Thank you so much as usual in advance!

Hans51 I think that there is a meaning difference. What do you native English speakers think? In reality, I see little practical difference between #1 and #2, but #3 obviously compares 'you' with other people met.

Thank you so much and could you give me your answer to this question as well?

I have learned that 'to' can be pronounced in two ways whether there is a stress or not and then can I say that there is a meaning difference. depending on whether 'to' is stressed or unstressed?

I am here TO meet you.

I am here to meet you.

What do you thin

I cannot envision a situation in which 'to' might be stressed.
